Shunan City's Sukumojima Island, birthplace of pufferfish longline fishing. The nationally renowned Kifune Shrine Summer Festival, known as the “Mikoshi Crossing the Sea,” is said to originate from prayers for safety and abundant catches. Young men, having purified themselves, carry the mikoshi into the sea and traverse approximately 500 meters to Kifune Shrine and its temporary palace. It is a magnificent sea festival. Many photographers also visit to capture this scene with their cameras. Scheduled Date: Mid to late July (The date changes annually depending on the tides.) Location: Kifune Shrine
